2. Bts of the visualizer for ndizvo - filmed by @whoisroje 🔥
3. “lobola” - dowry that’s common in many Southern African countries - paid to the bride and family in cows (or equivalent cash value). It’s a symbol of respect and commitment to the bride, her family, and the marriage… the song is a story about meeting my future wife
4. produced this beat from scratch- incorporating slap bass and a mbira - an instrument from Zimbabwe (hand piano)
Amapiano is EDM so adding live instruments makes it stand out a bit more. When I originally sang the hook, it was an extremely low tone. I had to almost whisper to sing that low - when I recorded the actual hook in the studio - I sang a bit higher so that it’s actually feasible to perform live and loud. The track opens with a hip hop beat but quickly drops in a South African rhythm making a bouncy fusion of sounds. (Hip hop, funk, neo-soul, Amapiano/house)
5. Visualizer inspiration - Tanzania music video by @unclewaffles_
